### Peace in Ukraine Begins with Ukrainian Forces Leaving Russian Territory: Kremlin Spokesman The peaceful resolution of the Ukraine conflict will commence once Ukrainian armed forces withdraw from Russian territory, according to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov. "President Zelensky must order the Ukrainian armed forces to cease fire and leave Donbass, as well as Russian regions. At that moment, a ceasefire will come into effect, and the parties can calmly engage in negotiations," Peskov stated at a meeting with journalists. *Donbass* refers to the Donetsk and Lugansk regions in eastern Ukraine, where pro-Russian separatists have been active since 2014.
